All 4 clue words gave up within seconds, and the solution surrendered even faster.
Sometimes projects that might seem difficult, at least at first, are surprisingly easy--and then disappointment can accompany the conclusion. Years ago when we visited Alaska, we went to the middle of the enormous state first--Fairbanks--then flew up to Coldfoot in the Arctic Circle. We came back down to Anchorage before cruising through the Inside Passage. We wanted to see the western part of the state (where reportedly you can "see Russia"), but made an easy decision to skip it because the roads to Nome are so limited.
That was a simple conclusion, but disappointing.

Pixies had a fashion show, arrayed in magic glamour.
They invited Elven-kin, Fairies made a shameful clamor!
The honcho was the Pixie King, Sean of Buttercup.
He would pick the winner of those clothes of Pixie dust!
In their homes the Pixies labored to design their gowns,
Colorful and billowy, with sparkly tiara crowns!
Some petty tiffs arose of who had copied who,
But Pixies don't stay angry, so tempers didn't brew.
But no invite was sent to old Grimalkin Cat.
Not that any elf-kin would have thought of that!
And so she stalked the runway, on silent feline treads;
Pounced upon the Pixies, clawed their dresses all to shreds!
Egad! Owen, I hardly knew ye!
I did not expect that grisly ending. I think the sweetness of vision you showed yesterday was still lingering in my mind as I began reading your Pixie tale. Today's conclusion packs quite a punch!

Well, no one was injured. I could have made it much more gruesome.
The four answers were right there, without any problem, and I was so happy to get the fun solution right away. But the picture doesn't entirely make sense to me. If the Boutique window is a corner, with the front door a bit in back, then the second story of the house, where the young woman lives, isn't supported by a part of the building below, is it? All around, a bit of a confusing Friday for me. But I had a great evening last night, watching a performance of Buddy Holly music by a group called the Rave-ons at the Laguna Playhouse. Great fun.
Isn't it cantilevered, Misty? I just assumed so.
